George Huitker - Maliyan Lyrics

A butterfly drunkenly
With no clear trajectory
Finds me asking as it flutters past
Just how long does this mad flapping last

Now I sit here subdued
On this bluff with gaping views
Finds me asking as you're soaring past
Just how long does all the sadness last

Maliyan so true
Find me flying there so close to you
Maliyan so free
Why is it that you've come to me
Maliyan you soar
Both outside of things and at their core
Hear me - ride these winds of truth
That carry me and those I love
Towards your song

This bigibila loyally
And forty seasons less than me
Finds him asking as we climb to cloud
Just how much in life is not allowed

As we sit here subdued
At the heart of all that's viewed
Finds us asking as you're soaring through
What now is the honest work to do

Maliyan so true
Find us flying there so close to you
Maliyan so free
Just what is it that we've come to see
Maliyan you soar
From this mountaintop to the ocean shore
Hear us - ride these rolling gusts
That carry us and those we love
Towards our song

Smoking plains down below
Tell the eagle in the know
When you feel that you're the special one
There is danger flying near that sun

Singed in flight and near the end
But carried by my spikey friend
Waddle to this place to repair the wings
And we brag of doing other things

Maliyan so true
Find a state where I can be like you
Maliyan so wise
With minds open like the clear blue skies
Maliyan you soar
From a world always demanding more
Teach me how to fly with grace
And see the face of what we love
Our whole life through:
This view

My life stares back at me
And it has passed so fleetingly
So I ask you as it flutters past
Just how long will all its magic last
